Some clear tubing, an empty plastic oil quart bottle, cut the side of it out to use as a drip pan to catch brake fluid don't forget to keep the cap on it or you might lose fluid on the floor. Torx bit sockets and Allens, screw driver, 3/8's ratchet. Now losen the bleeder screw just enough to allow fluid to escape when depressing on the disk pads inward towards the caliper piston to allow for clearanc when you remove the fasteners to remove the calipers. Doesn't take much only about a 1/16th of an inch to allow the caliper to slide out with pads. Then remove pads and be carefull to remember how you remove; Now replace in the reverse manner and your ready to install the caliper back on. I like to put a dab of anti-seze on the bolts that allow the caliper to travel on as to assit for a smooth back and forth glide when I press on the brakes. be carefull not to get any on the rotor or pads. Now your ready to bleed the system. This takes only paitience and slow depresions of your brake lever and foot lever to be ablr to build up enough pressure to remove any air if you trapped air when you lossened the bleeder screw. Ohh don't forget to tighten this bleeder screw after you made enough clearance to remove caliper. If this is your first time don't worry copy and paste this in a note pad on your PC and take it out to your work area and check it out pretty basic my 15 year old takes care of mine.
